Changes in Tryptophan Hydroxylase 2 and 5HT1A Receptor Density May Contribute to Developmental Variation in Response to Serotonin in the in vitro Bullfrog Brainstem (2024)

Bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeiana, is a vertebrate animal model that can be used to study toxicology and developmental physiology. Our research is focused on better understanding vulnerability to brainstem respiratory centers in the pathology of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). We propose that a link between nicotine exposure during development leads to changes in the serotonergic signaling cascades of respiratory coordinating neurons. Caudal raphe neurons send serotonergic fibers that arbor

Environmental Impact Assessment with LCA (2026)

Every activity can be correlated with environmental impacts. However, designing effective measures to reduce them requires an evaluation of the impacts first. To date, life cycle assessment (LCA) is the only standardised and most comprehensive method for assessing environmental impacts. Slovenian companies do not use the LCA method to the same extent as their competitors abroad and therefore cannot take advantage of the benefits that LCA can offer. LCA is a job for engineers and can only be carr

Environmental and human health impact of recycle concrete powder: an emergy-based LCA approach (2025)

The construction sector extensively utilizes natural resources and energy, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Concrete production, in particular, contributes notably to environmental pollution. This study investigates the environmental and human health impact of concrete production, focusing on parameters such as Portland Cement, organic chemicals, diesel, medium voltage electricity, crushed gravel, natural gas heat, lubricating oil, sand and tap water. It also evaluat

Comparative analysis of Environmental Impact of Each Building Material using Life Cycle assessment(LCA)_Focusing on Types of Construction Wood and Concrete (2024)

Objectives:The construction sector is a very important sector in achieving carbon neutrality. In modern society, construction has grown rapidly, and basic materials such as cement and concrete have contributed greatly to the development of construction. These materials emit a large amount of global warming substances during the raw material extraction and production process, causing serious environmental pollution. In order to establish a carbon reduction strategy to slow down global warming, we

Effect of flax fiber orientation in carbon-flax fiber composite on tensile and visco elastic behavior (2023)

Abstract This paper deals with the effect of Flax fiber orientations on the tensile and viscoelastic response of Carbon/Flax hybrid composite. The composite laminates were prepared by varying flax fiber orientations of [0°4F/0°1C]1, [+30°2F/0°1C/−30°2F]1, [+45°2F/0°1C/−45°2F]1, [+60°2F/0°1C/−60°2F]1, and [+75°2F/0°1C/−75°2F]1 using the Hot press compression molding technique. The tensile and DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer) tests have been done for evaluating strength, strain to

Machine Learning-Assisted Tensile Modulus Prediction for Flax Fiber/Shape Memory Epoxy Hygromorph Composites (2023)

Flax fiber/shape memory epoxy hygromorph composites are a promising area of research in the field of biocomposites. This paper focuses on the tensile modulus of these composites and investigates how it is affected by factors such as fiber orientation (0° and 90°), temperature (20 °C, 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C), and humidity (50% and fully immersed) conditions. Machine learning algorithms were utilized to predict the tensile modulus based on non-linearly dependent initial variables. Both de

Metabolic Stability and Metabolite Identification of CYP450 Probe Substrates in Ferret Hepatocytes (2025)

Background: Ferrets exhibit similar lung physiology to humans and display similar clinical signs following influenza infection, making them a valuable model for studying high susceptibility and infection patterns. However, the metabolic fate of several common human CYP450 probe substrates in ferrets is still unknown and has not been studied. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the metabolism of nine human CYP450 probe substrates in ferret hepatocytes and explore their meta
